Lovely photos! And yes, the proposed new building looks just ghastly. Yuck. It is so miserable to see people with such spirit, which shines out from the photos, being pushed out.

The development proposed is HORRIFIC
it is shameful if that goes ahead. Poor London

What a hideous replacement for such a community amenity. The only good thing about this are Sarah Ainslie’s photographs. Many thanks

Thanks for this. Sarah’s photographs are marvellous. I recognise a few of the faces!

Great pictures.
And the great social cleansing program continues to hollow out communities and destroy the social eco-systems that have been part of local life for centuries.
How much longer will the East End of London exist as a vibrant part of the City?

The proposed carbuncle looks like it was designed by an idiot. It is almost comical in its stupidity and ugliness. Only an architect could find anything beautiful or creative in such a hopeless pile of junk.

The new development looks ghastly, I hope it will not be built. I was never a fan of Bingo, but I know how many people love it, and for many it is a bright spot in a cold and lonely week. I used to organise a weekly Bingo session at a local care home, and it was very popular. People need to be able to go somewhere and meet up socially, and it seems that these spaces in London are becoming rarer and rarer. Valerie
